Violet Design No. 612 A.
This design is square, the edges are doubled under and securely sewed with silk. For this reason only a small quantity of silk is required for working, as none is used for the edge.
Border.—Outline the scroll in each corner with Corticelli Filo Silk, 645. Work the scallop inside the scroll with Filo Silk, White, 615, to the depth of half an inch. Shade into the white, Lemon, 644.6, leaving a long and short effect on the inside of the scallop. Fill the space between the outside scroll and the scallop with fine seed stitches with 645. Work the scroll inside of stitching solid with 645 in satin stitch. See Colored Plate XX.
Flowers.—Begin the edge of the petals in 725, shading darker to the center with 727, 728, 729. Make some petals darker by omitting 725 and 727. In the center of open flowers work a stitch of Yellow, 505. Work the calyx solid in Green, 782.
Leaves.—Begin the edge in 781; shade to center with 782. Vein and stem with 783. (Easy.)
